New $99 Liquid Fly Reel...Expected instock August 2014

Optional Cassette Colors: Salsa Green, Burnt Orange and Coral Blue

The new die cast Liquid reel focuses on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer. Structurally you can do things with casting that you can’t machine, such as full radiused compound curves, near zero-radius inside corners, and for precise fit and finish you can go back and machine the cast part in critical areas amplifying the best aspects of the process.
We pushed back on other boundaries as well. How much of a reel at this price can we make here in the U.S.? Quite a lot as it turns out, and it’s a good mix. These high quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined here in the U.S. Liquid reels are assembled in Boise,Idaho alongside our highest priced reels.

New $159 Remix Reel expected in stock August 2014

A fusion between the free-form structures of a cast spool and the mechanical integrity of a CNC-machined case, Remix is a hybrid.
The case, CNC-machined here in the U.S. from 6061 bar-stock aluminum, delivers maximum structural rigidity and durability all wrapped in a harder, brighter finish. The spool is pressure cast.
All critical drag components are CNC-machined in the U.S. And like Liquid, Remix reels are assembled in Boise, Idaho.
